charmed by this stay

cute staffcute bedroomcomfortable balconystreet traffic
staff was super cute and helpful. the bedroom was cute and location met my needs perfectly. i really liked the comfortable balcony in the lobby, a definite plus. breakfast was amazing, especially the vegetarian options. the room size allowed for good movement even with three beds.
the rooms were loud because of street traffic. i requested a room change, which helped somewhat, but noise remained a concern. perhaps better soundproofing could address this.
